It's a strategy that's not just about building wealth; it's about creating a lifestyle that aligns with your goals and dreams.Feel free to ask me any questions about my journey or if you're curious about how you can embark on your own house-hacking adventure.

I've spent my whole life growing up in Southern California either 5 blocks from Santa Monica beach, then Newport Beach, and now 5 miles from Laguna Beach, all Class A, or B+ neighborhoods, If I'm leaving home and seeking lodging, I'm not looking to pay someone to downgrade my lifestyle on a STR location.

The problem is that if you are managing them yourself, it basically is a job and that may not be congruent with your desired retirement lifestyle.I say that you should manage your investments so that you can enjoy your lifestyle.

I hope they enhance to offer the same functionality. 

I’ve emailed the teams with bugs and they’re reasonable hold on response, but they have also now been acquired by RoofStock so I’m not expecting their free product to remain so for very much longer: https://www.stessa.com/blog/stessa-joining-forces-with-roofstockAlthough you didn’t ask, like others, I’ve been super pleased with Porter and impressed with the team’s ability to respond to enhancement requests.

At this rate we'll need about 48 doors to cover the debt and our personal lifestyle. 

It won’t be for everyone.With the help of a CPA and Attorney I believe rules can be set to prevent the Cons and enhance the Pros.

This is subjective and you need input from a skilled property manager.Enhancements - Enhancements fall into three categories.Required due to market competition.

So here's my situation...working a 9-5 that just doesn't seem to be cutting it from a satisfaction standpoint and would love to walk away....of course from a lifestyle standpoint, that would certainly be a challenge.

Personally I am a member of a sizable group called Lifestyles Unlimited that has a lot of education and mentoring around residential real estate investing.
